This recently discovered and very timely 1970 Massey Lectures by Nobel Prize-winning scientist George Wald, now in print for the first time ever.

Where did we come from, who are we, and what is to become of us -- these questions have never been more urgent. Then, as now, the world is facing major political and social upheaval, from overpopulation to nuclear warfare to environmental degradation and the uses and abuses of technology. Using scientific fact as metaphor, Nobel Prize-winning scientist George Wald meditates on our place, and role, on Earth and in the universe. He urges us to therefore choose life -- to invest in our capabilities as human beings, to heed the warnings of our own self-destruction, and above all to honour our humanity.
